European Coordinated Research on Long-term Challenges in Information and Communication Sciences & Technologies ERA-NET (CHIST-ERA)

The Irish Research Council are participating in Call 2022. CHIST-ERA is looking for transformative and highly multidisciplinary research projects. They should explore new ideas with potential for significant scientific and technical impacts in the long term. Each year, CHIST-ERA launches a call for research proposals in two new topics of emergent scientific importance (the list of past call topics is available here). In the Call 2022, two separate topics are addressed, namely:

Security and Privacy in Decentralised and Distributed Systems (SPiDDS)

Machine Learning-based Communication Systems, towards Wireless AI (WAI)

The official Call Announcement is available above as attachment.

Call deadline: 2^nd of February 2023, 17:00 CET

A one-step submission process applies. The coordinator prepares a joint proposal for the whole consortium, using the template available below as attachment. The form is submitted using the electronic submission system, along with a financial table following the template also available below and administrative project data entered directly in the system.

Electronic Submission System: Avaliable soon

Information Webinars are planned on November 21, 2022 and January 11, 2023.

Besides, we provide a Partner Search Tool to find partners, by consulting the list of the so-called Expressions of Interest (EoI) and/or by submitting your own EoI. An Online Networking Event is also foreseen end of November.

For projects selected for funding, each partner of the consortium will be funded separately by their respective national/regional research funding organisation. Therefore, all national/regional regulations apply. Eligibility regulations for each funding organisation (or links to them) are given in the annex of the Call Announcement. Additionally, each principaI investigator, not just the coordinator, can contact the respective funding organisation contact point sufficiently prior to submission regarding eligibility issues.
